Classes focused on working on the core, i.e., its stabilization and conscious strengthening of the deep muscles responsible for posture, balance, and movement control, as well as a sense of calm, emotional stability, and self-confidence.
The workshop will use elements of contemporary dance, animal flow (training inspired by animal movement), and Pilates. An important part of the practice will be working with the spine, including strengthening bone structures and muscles that stabilize the body. The program will include movements based on spirals and rotations, as well as spinal bends.
The whole thing is an introduction to an open movement jam, i.e., free dance improvisation to live music using a crystal harp, Tibetan singing bowl, and ocean drum.
Duration: 180 minutes
Event for persons aged 18 and over.
